Creatives in mind logo

​

Are you a creative professional whose thoughts, feelings or behaviours are holding you back from living the life you want to live? Our specialised CBT practice for Creatives professionals is here to help. 

​

The creative industry can be exciting, soul enhancing, fulfilling and fun. It can also involve working long hours, tight deadlines, freelance work and shift work, which all present their challenges.

 

We know that as creatives our mind gives us many gifts including thinking of lots of different possibilities, imagination, curiosity and our mind working at a fast pace. This often drives our greatest work but if these gifts are hijacked by negative thoughts they can create great distress. Imagine being able to acknowledge distressing thoughts and feelings whilst having a choice in how they impact your behaviour.

​

Imagine working in a workplace in which people feel safe to express ideas without criticism, allowing people to debate creative ideas and work together to develop their best work. We can help support you to develop this in the workplace.

​

We work with individuals, productions and workplaces to enhance wellbeing across all creative industries including Film, TV, Music, Radio, Fashion, Computer Games and the Performing Arts to enable people to do their best work.

CBT Therapist for creative industry
Experience

Welcome to Creatives in Mind! I'm Kirstie, the founder. As a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and EMDR Therapist with over a decade of experience in the mental health field—both in the NHS and private sector—I bring a wealth of knowledge to my practice. I hold a BSc in Psychology along with various Post Graduate Certificates and Diplomas, primarily focused on CBT. My connections with clients, friends and family in the creative industry provide me with a distinct perspective on the unique rewards and challenges it offers.

I established Creatives in Mind driven by my deep passion for improving the well-being of individuals in the industry. Art possesses the incredible ability to transform emotions and foster freedom of expression. My goal is to assist people and organizations in producing their finest work, allowing creatives to remain curious explore new ideas.
